Liverpool are really struggling at the moment, having lost three of their last five games and drawn the other two, so they haven't won any of them. Newcastle are in even worse shape, having lost four of their last five matches and drawing the other one, so they are also without a win lately. When these two teams meet, goals are almost always guaranteed – in four of their last six meetings, at least four goals have been scored, including a recent 4-1 win for Newcastle.

Given that both teams are out of form but usually produce high-scoring games when they play each other, this match is very likely to be open and close. Liverpool are playing at home at Anfield, but their current slump makes it hard to back them. Newcastle's away form is terrible, so they will not be confident. With both sides struggling and their recent history full of goals, a draw seems the most realistic outcome for this game, with plenty of chances at both ends.
